Service don't start if format is defined in configuration file

[DanielLuning]

I tried to add the format setting to PerfTap configuration file but with it the service refuses to start.
I have done a manual installation, also tried to use the Local Installation Script with config parameters but that doesn't work either.

Interesting -- will try and check this out soon. Thanks for the report.

I can confirm the same. By default it seems PerfTap is sending in statsite formatted data and I am trying to change it to StatsD format for use with bucky/graphite.

Service cannot be started. System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Unrecognized attribute 'format'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive. (C:\...\PerfTap\PerfTap.WindowsServiceHost.exe.Config line 24)

Using the 0.1.1 package from the downloads page.

I'm using the following XML configuration:

  <perfTapPublishing prefixKey="perftap"
                     port="8125"
                     server="perftap"
                     Key="StatsD"
    />

Ok -- thanks for the follow-up guys. I will try to look at this today.

Did you have any luck?

I have the same issue starting the service but it complains about hostname:

Service cannot be started. System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Unrecognized attribute 'hostName'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive. (C:\Program Files\PerfTap\PerfTap.WindowsServiceHost.exe.Config line 23)

This will be a great utility when it works for me, thanks for your effort!

Yeah, I realized that I updated the readme docs, but failed to update the actual code yet... I will let you know as soon as I get this straightened out. I just returned from vacation, but it's high on my agenda.

Hi,

I still have the same issue... did you manage to find the time to update the actual code ?

[tomcooley]

Also having this issue. Any word on an ETA for the fix?

[tomcooley]

I have fixed this issue for myself locally and have a pull request pending so that my changes can be available to others.

[mathiear]

Hi Tom,

Any chance you could post your fix here while we wait for the pending request?

Cheers,

Arnaud

Hi

Has this bug been fixed ? I was trying this out today but ran into this problem too.

Best regards

Man.. 10 months.

Sorry guys... this project has been in a bit of neglect mode here, since I've been tied up with a ton of other stuff.

If someone wants to send a PR fixing this I would take a look and ship a new version.

The next step for this project was to integrate NanoTube and yank out any of the network client code, relying on that library instead.

Having the same issue after default install...
System.ConfigurationErrorsException: unrecognized attribute 'hostname'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive. (C:\Program Files\PerfTap\PerfTap\WindowsServiceHost.exe.Config line 18)

Would be nice to get this working - Thank you
